Derek McCoy, executive director of Maryland Marriage Alliance, said Monday the group is turning in 39,743 more signatures on top of 113,000 already submitted. They needed 55,736 to put the issue on the ballot.

The Maryland State Board of Elections said it has already validated more than 109,000 signatures from ones already turned in to the state.

Supporters of the law passed this year said it's not unexpected that the issue will be decided by voters.

Josh Levin, campaign manager for Marylanders for Marriage Equality, said the group is focusing on building a campaign to mobilize Maryland voters to support the law in November.

Hillary Clinton did not have a State Department email account while she served as America's top diplomat, a senior state department official said Monday, and instead used a personal email account during her four years on the job.
